Perspic supplies several pre-indexed and compressed binary archives of
texts freely available on the Internet from various locations.  As a
text searching and word reference program, perspic supplies to the
user only excerpts from these texts.  The full versions of the
original documents cannot be retrieved without significant alterations
to the program itself.  Should a user of perspic do so, he or she
should be aware that these documents often come with their own
copyright statements, which are binding on the end user.  As certain
of these are supplied separately from the texts themselves, they are
included here for reference.
